ugh

I tell ya. I think I’m done. I’m getting to the point that work has really lost it’s luster. Maybe it’s cuz I’ve had a long work week or maybe not. I dunno. I;m just so tired off all the bullshit. That and never feeling like I’m caught up always feeling behind. And feeling my behind being slowly chewed off by an insolent idiot.
We got a book in called “when psychopath’s go to work” and the back read like it was talking about her. I am freaked the fuck out!

aww

here is bubba tryin’ to stand…..

ain’t he cute?
and no he isn’t mine, but i’ll take ‘em.

help!

I’m gettin’ kinda of anxious. I just wish I knew what was going on at work. Then my future could be a little more certain.

“should I stay or should I go now
if I stay there will be trouble
if I go it will be double
So come on and let me know
should I stay or should I go.”

Well we picked up that air conditioner in Oregon. As as per his usual H is procrastinating. But he did go to home depot to pick up the fiddly bits. And we may not have to buy a new one for the living room. It was brought to his attention by a good friend that the coils(?) need to be cleaned. Because it is good when it works, we just may have it serviced. Cool eh?

Well I have to get in the shower cuz I have to go to work today. Bummer.

…

oh…………….. my work week(sun-tues) was so long. i don’t know how much longer i can take it. hahahaha.

(i took out the video cuz it was fucking up the layout)

let be

I wonder what I’m gonna talk about once I stop the retail thing. It looks like before too long that’s what’s it’s gonna be. yeap. At least I’m gonna have time to work on my house… SO WE CAN SELL IT!

Today was weird. It started out with this heat. Hot, sweltering & muggy more than 80 degrees. Yuck. Then the clouds started to roll in. Thunder (whoo), lightening(hoo), 75 MPH bursts of wind (whoopeee). So weird. And it’s still raining off and on. There are hail warnings for the night. I don’t think we’ll see any tho.

Have you noticed the absurdity of the commercials lately? There is a “shorts” commercial for k-mart that makes me giggle everything I see it.

Ok I’m falling asleep. G’night!

Tuesday/Wednesday

Well Tuesday was mainly spent traveling. But we did get in a little shopping in Newport. Went to the cat shop and got the kids some cat nip and I found a wonderful frame for my Spector. I also found a cute creamer. The tail is the handle and the spout is the cats paw! We also got to eat at Mo’s. SO GOOD!

Farther down the coast we stopped in Waldport and went golfing at a great little course. We lost more balls than I thought was possible. It was such a challenging course. Boy was it cool.

We got to Reedsport. It reminds me of Yakima. And not in a good way either. I went to sleep. Then we went to dinner, visited Safeway (….Whoopee) & went back and went to sleep.

Wednesday we got a bit of a late start but once we got started there was no stopping us. haha. We decided that today was and 18 hole kinda day. So we get Coos Bay (I like it there & so does Scott) and 1/2 of the course is closed! Over the winter the levees broke and flooded the place for 55 days, with sea water. So it killed all of the low lying grass and they had aerated and seeded it where needed. So some of the fairways weren’t so fair but the greens were. Weird. Like an island with a flag in it. Both of us also lost a few more balls and I almost made a hole in one! But I say almost because I didn’t quite make it. Scott made this little video of my swing. Sadly, I’m still fat.

When we finally got done we went to this great little local restaurant/lounge. Recommended by the owner of the golf course. MAN! The best food! And great drinks and our waitress/ bartender was spot on. With our dinner they served a side salad. It had: 2 slices of pickled cucumbers, 1 pickled mushroom, 3 slices pepperoni, 2 olives, garbanzo & kidney bean medley, mixed greens, croutons and not to much dressing. So amazing! When we left there the sun was going down just over the hill…

On the way home there was a “scenic viewpoint” & I made Scott pull over even tho he was tired, he is so cool. It turns out the viewpoint was of the Umpqua River Lighthouse.

“this photo from the National Park Service”
ie… Not mine

But if you look closely towards the bottom right of the next photo, actually its at the end of the right leg of the A-line dike, you’ll see a small light(you may need to pull it up in a separate window). That is the lens of the lighthouse you see in here! Not to mention a pretty sunset.

Well sadly our vacation has come to an end. Tommorrow will be spent traveling. We’re gonna go to Frye’s and maybe pick up a small air conditioner… no sales tax! Then we’ll stop in Longview at one of Jeff n Lisa’s favorite resturants and pick up dinner for em. Then after we eat, we’ll traipse over the mountians and sleep in our own bed. YEA!

With all the posting I’ve been doing the last few days I think it’ll be a while before i post again. Maybe.

Monday

Has turned out to be a shit day(for golf that is). The one that I’ve been drooling over and wanting to come to is closed! So we thought we would go to the course that is directly across the street right? Well it turns out we’re just not smart enough to figure out which road leads to it! it wasn’t well marked at all. No golf today and it is such a gorgeous day… Supposed to be a high of 82. Back home its been getting into the 90’s, suckers….

We stopped by the bakery. I think they changed hands, because there wasn’t as many delicious tastys’ to choose from. And the ones we got are not very good. So we went back to the hotel & I watched the tide roll in(Scott decided to take a nap) man I thought it was gonna come through the window! Here is a coupla shots. Just for a reference, the rocks you see, are the same ones you could see from the last post.

Is so nice just to sit here and listen to the surf. I feel completely relaxed and distant from the pressure and tedium of work. YEA VACATION!

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

We woke up kinda late, as we both slept hard. We found a wonderful little tavern and had a free show. These 2 “older” ladies, who were clearly drunk, were playing pool then 2 other “older” ladies joined them. They were loud, laughing & having a gay old time. One of em’ even started to hit on these “cute young things”. It was way better than any reality TV.

After breakfast on Sunday morning we did a quick walk around and I had to get a kite. cuz I’ve been itching to fly one for oh, quite some time now. Then we decided that we should golf before we headed down the coast. It was a short course. But really nice.

Here is a video of Scott being his non perfect self. And a picture of him relieving the pressure of the work week. Funny thing is, after he tee’d off and we went over the bridge, we seen an outhouse… ha ha ha.

Traveling down the coast we found wonderful views of course…

Once we got to the hotel we were greeted by a most amazing view… Not to mention the surprise of a full kitchen!

This picture is taken right from the patio. Amazing isn’t it? We really got lucky on this one. At least we don’t have to go out to eat for our meals. That is probably the only thing that I don’t like about vacation. I don’t get to cook. But with that full kitchen WHOOO HOO!

The hotel has beach access. So we can step out the sliding glass door and onto the beach, lickty split. We went down after dinner and checked out the rocks that had a few anemones and barnacles.

And yes we went for the sunset. For some reason it seemed as tho the sun took a long time to set. Maybe it was because I was tired and a bit impatient. But it was still beautiful. We were down on the beach during twilight and made our way back up to the room before the sun fully set. Enjoy!

Friday/Saturday

Ok Friday was a beautiful day, we got off to a late start & that ain’t no soda. So I don’t know why….

The drive was wonderful and went by much faster than usual. Rainier was almost out and I snapped a few of the ridges still covered with snow.

I’d like to hear the farmers complain of a water shortage now, but they will anyway.

I love old/dilapidated buildings and couldn’t resist snapping a few pics along the way.

We got over to Jeff and Lisa’s about 5:30 and Lisa made the best dinner. We had a great cuc salad and barbecued chicken. Then she served strawberries and angel food cake yum. We (Lisa and I) sat out on the deck till it got too cold, smoking and chewing the proverbial fat.

Saturday morning came, slept wonderfully. Lisa made French toast and sausage. mmm my favorite. Then we hit the road. Seaside was the first planned stop, but we found a great viewpoint and had to stop.

Our hotel is surprising really nice. We even have a tiny balcony.

And yes we went to the beach. Messed around and wasted disk space…

Actually we went to see the sunset. Enjoy

haha
